Fleming previously pled guilty on May 1, 2024, to one count of felony continuous sexual abuse, and two counts of felony lewd acts upon a child. He also admitted to special allegations that the victim was under 18 years of age, the victim was vulnerable, and that he took advantage of a position of trust.

Fleming continuously molested an underage member of his household between 1996 and 2007. The crimes began when the victim was just six years old and only stopped when she moved out of the home at age 18. The victim came forward in April 2021 to report the molestation.

Deputy District Attorney Benjamin Moreno, a member of the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office Sexual Assault Unit, prosecuted the case.

“Thanks to the victim’s bravery in coming forward and Simi Valley Police Detective Kellyn King’s thorough investigation, this perpetrator has been brought to justice,” Mr. Moreno said. “With offenses dating back to 1996, this case shows that if you are a victim of child sexual abuse, California’s extended statute of limitations on child sex crimes means it may not be too late to come forward and obtain justice.”
